👥The Team & The Dao
Who is behind BabelFish is explained here.
Introduction
BabelFish is a protocol designed to grow, expand and adapt. This evolution will be directed by the process of Futarchy, the on chain governance by token holders.
Futarchy provides incentives to coordinate and encourage a diverse set of stakeholders. It is designed to foster collaboration with a long-term focus on the future and mission of the protocol. These stakeholders include early users, new users, funders, builders, content creators, and many others who have made contributions to the BabelFish protocol.
Decentralized Autonomous Organization (DAO)
DAOs operate by a set of rules agreed by its members to organize, govern and collaborate on a protocol through a distributed democratic process.
Effectively, any user with FISH governance tokens can come forward with an idea for the improvement of the protocol. However, they can't execute this alone, and need consensus from the DAO. To get consensus, a draft detailing the improvement proposal is posted on the forum to create a public discussion, after receiving enough feedback the proposal can be adjusted and formally submitted to be moved to the voting stage. Here, any holder of the governance token can cast their vote, weighed by the amount that person holds. When the quorum is reached, the vote has passed and the DAO must implement the proposed change to the protocol.
Teams / Schools of Fish
BabelFish has many people working on a variety of disciplines to improve BabelFish. To keep BabelFish organized, it is necessary to have schools of fish (teams) and roles within them. Teams are groups of people working in specific verticals towards a common goal. Each team is managed by one Dolphin, responsible for tracking all their efforts. Every two weeks the active teams will present their progress at the community call.
Humans are free to come and go, contribute a little or a lot, or simply hop in for casual support. Schools help connect community members, focus discussions, and get things done. See below for a further breakdown of the teams and responsibilities.
